placement service is again open
As the COVID-19 pandemic created a lot of restrictions in 2020, and still are affecting many activties, the ESMB placement service was temporarily suspended. It is our hope that most restrictions may be lifted later this year. We have thus opened the placement service again, and will encourage planning of placements for the academic year 2021-22 to start now. It takes time to secure funding and to obtain agreements with the host. Further information here.

ESMB is proud to present a new logo for the society. A competition for designing a new logo was launched for students as part of a course in "brand marketing" at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences in the study programme "Intermedia & Marketing" at Hochschule Flensburg. Several proposals were presented to the ESMB Board, which made some suggestions for minor adjustments before the final result was professionally set into graphic files by the graphic designer of the university, Bärbel Ballaschke. The new logo will be officially used in all documents and on the website. The winners of the logo competition: Josephine Friedel and Leo Struve (clicking on photos enlarge them).
